The principles of Taoism are impossible to lay forth in any short form, although there are many attempts to try. The notion of harmony in nature is one that is almost graspable, but it tends to disappear when it’s pursued, which is in the order of the nature of all things. It may be better understood in terms of the art with Taoist connections, although this too can tend to become ethereal in moments.
There’s no other way to experience anything than to go through it, and to see Beijing one does have to be in a Beijing hotel to begin. It’s not simply a question of presence, of course, but a question of intensity, and this comes with time. At the core of any art form, there is patience or the absence of patience, and in the contemporary photography scene in Beijing , the dualism is taken to new levels of complexity.
It’s all part of a search for the moment when complexity stops altogether, and there is suddenly a sense of connection between all things, with no real idea of how the map lead to that particular moment. This kind of deeper experience is sometimes demanding more time from the seeker, and a stay in a residence hotel can make the traveler less temporary. At the same time, it’s never long before the moment opens up to reveal that this is all very temporary, and the best way to catch a moment that will never repeat is through photographing it.
